Lars Porsena

A king of Clusium, the most powerful of the Etruscan cities.
In 506 BC, at the urging of his fellow king
Tarquinius Superbus,
he attacked and laid siege to Rome. It was during this war that some of
Rome's greatest heroes emerged. Horatius
Cocles prevented the capture of Rome.
Mucius Scaevola convinced him to give up the siege.
Cloelia's courage prevented the taking of a large
number of hostages in order for there to be peace.
